Would anyone in the WG be able to take an action to review the latest
EXI drafts from a XML Security perspective?
Will we need to clarify order of processing of signing/EXI
processing, for example?
Thanks

Two Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Drafts Published: Format 1.0;
Evaluation
2008-07-28: The Efficient XML Interchange Working Group published two
Working Drafts today: Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format 1.0 and
Efficient XML Interchange Evaluation. The former specifies the
Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) format. EXI is a very compact
representation for the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Information
Set that is intended to simultaneously optimize performance and the
utilization of computational resources. The EXI format uses a hybrid
approach drawn from the information and formal language theories,
plus practical techniques verified by measurements, for entropy
encoding XML information. Using a relatively simple algorithm, which
is amenable to fast and compact implementation, and a small set of
data types, it reliably produces efficient encodings of XML event
streams. The latter document, a first public draft, is an evaluation
of the Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format 1.0 with reference to
the Properties identified by the (now closed) XML Binary
Characterization (XBC) Working Group, relative to XML, gzipped XML
and ASN.1 PER. Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language (XML)
